November, 2022 complete and December already written in

 

November is complete.  I did things a bit different for November, in that I wrote the name of the page I created each day.  Of note is the soldier saluting that is like the one I covered with too much gesso on Veterans Day.  As you notice, I also stamped a food or drink image on every day.  Elle would be proud that I emphasized Scotland's St Andrew's Day.

To honor Jo's snowflake theme at Art Journal Journey, I decorated my calendar accordingly.

As promised, I have completed my Treasure Trovember prompts.

 

 

You can see I've highlighted the final seven prompts, which I will show in close up.  For Day 27, the written prompt was scribbles, but Kelly called it squiggles (not to be confused with my fat younger cat).

I scanned this because I am still having problems getting good photos with this new camera Scott bought me for Thanksgiving.  Because the page is larger than the scanner bed,

I scanned it a second time and didn't bother rotating it 180 degrees.

Now lets check out the final seven prompts.

Day 24: Add some poetry.

This is an abbreviated part of a poem I wrote that was published in a national magazine when I was 11.

Day 25: Add a beverage.

I was very lucky to find this bottle of French wine.  It matches my color scheme, too.

Day 26: Add texture (either real or perceived)

Granted, this is a bit difficult to see because it blends so well with my background.  It's a piece of white plastic from a white onion bag.  I affixed it using E6000 and in order to keep it in place, I had to wrap it over itself.

Day 27: Add some scribbles or squiggles.

Like Kelly, I used crayons, but mine were cheap kids crayons I picked up at a restaurant one year.  Not nearly as bright and defined as they should have been, but I kept writing an "S" using red, green, and blue.  I probably shouldn't have placed them over the shorthand writing, though.

Day 28: Add some stripes.

This pillow was the best example of stripes I could find.

Day 29: Add fabric, lace, ribbon, string, thread, yarn, twine, etc.

I had two tiny bits of excess lace I had dyed (one yellow/orange, one lavender), so added them to the page.

Day 30: Add a monster

I had this image of modern art that sort of reminded me of a monster.  I added eyes and a mouth using a metallic gel pen and called this challenge complete for another year.

 

One final look at this November project.

 

I want to thank everyone for taking time to visit today.  I hope you enjoyed what I did with this challenge.  Even though Kelly is sharing her daily prompts on her web site, she is showing the results on Facebook and Instagram, where I am not a member.  Looks like this is the only place you will see my Treasure Trovember.  I am grateful for your remarks on this project.  Yes, I am color driven, so there are a lot of neutrals and reds, along with a couple of blues.  One thing I can say is I didn't cover over anything like Kelly did, except for a bit of gesso on the tissue paper.
